Perimenopause
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Perimenopause is the transitional stage before menopause, during which the ovaries gradually reduce their activity and hormone levels begin to fluctuate.
Common signs: irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, changes in sleep and mood, and variations that each woman may experience differently.
Why does it happen? It is part of the body's natural process as it approaches the end of the reproductive stage.
Which specialist provides care? The gynecologist is the go-to professional to answer questions and provide follow-up, and the endocrinologist may get involved when there are hormonal aspects worth reviewing. If these changes affect your daily well-being, talking about them with a professional will help you go through this stage with greater peace of mind.
